Huo Hai’s cooking ingredients are not something that grassroots like Taishi Ci can easily eat.

Therefore, Taishici has eaten the best seafood meal in his life.

During the meal, Huo Hai naturally had to ask about Taishi Ci's teacher and some recent experiences. After that, the straightforward Taishi Ci's words made Huo Hai laugh and cry.

His master was actually an overseas monk who called himself the old immortal Penglai, but he only taught him how to hunt sea beasts and never taught him how to practice.

Moreover, after Taishi Ci hunted and killed the sea beast, in addition to leaving some of the things he ordered for him and his mother to eat, he had to hand over to him some of the things designated by the Penglai Old Immortal.

Huo Hai asked a few questions and knew that Taishi Ci was a real tool man. It was the old immortal Penglai who discovered his talent and trained him to help him collect materials from the sea beasts for his own alchemy.

Taishi Ci was so stupid that she had been a tool for others for more than ten years, but unexpectedly she had developed a martial arts with the peak of internal strength.

Since Huo Hai opened the God-Starting Chapter, the world has undergone a change. The Penglai Immortal has no idea why. It has not been found in Taishi Ci for two years, so Taishi Ci can only find another way out.

He had previously run to Liu Bei, and originally wanted to obtain an official position with his own martial arts, but who knew that he was a freshman and practiced fighting sea beasts since he was a child. He had insufficient experience in land warfare and fighting with people. He lost to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in two battles, and was judged by them as the most useless peak internal strength warrior besides shooting skills.

The largest military officer under Liu Bei was just a county magistrate, who had been held by Guan Yu. If Taishi Ci chose to stay under Liu Bei's command, he could only serve as a archer at most. A salary of less than three stones of grain per month would be a problem for supporting himself, let alone supporting him.

So, he went to Kong Rong again. Kong Rong was a Confucian son and looked down on the warriors. He heard that Liu Guanzhang did not give him any good comments, so he naturally would not give him any good treatment. So Taishi Ci remembered Huo Hai, who had repeatedly given him olive branches.

The Thousand-Year Sea Beast Taishi Ci had hunted several powerful people with peak internal strength, had experience in sea combat, and basically had the combat power that was not inferior to the Thousand-Year Sea Beast.

However, the tiger shark is different from the ordinary thousand-year-old sea beast, and it lives in groups.

A group of tiger sharks usually has several or more than a dozen thousand-year-old tiger sharks, and the rest have dozens to hundreds of hundred hundred hundred hundred hundred. If you want to hunt them, you need to withstand the attack of a group of tiger sharks with a power of tens of thousands of pounds underwater. The difficulty is many times larger than hunting ordinary thousand-year-old sea beasts that move alone.

However, people have an advantage when hunting sea beasts.

Because humans have much higher wisdom than sea beasts and know how to use various tools.

For example, a fish hook made of stainless steel is thicker than a human arm.

Once the tiger sharks bite the hook, the fishing team can use the big ship to compete with the tiger shark from afar until it is exhausted and can be slaughtered.

According to Taishici, the last time he and his master hunted a tiger shark, he used this method. Unfortunately, because the ship was too small, it took three days to walk the tiger shark out. Moreover, they may not have been exhausted by them, and they may have been exhausted by hunger.

"The skin of the tiger shark can be made into inner armor, but it is soft but tough. The teeth of the tiger shark are extremely hard. They can be used as weapons or embedded in the shoulders and wrist guards to enhance the lethality of the armor.

The liver of a tiger shark can relieve the poison of most sea beasts. Of course, the best thing on it is the eyes. Eating it will make you see things underwater, just like on land."

"Is this why you can shoot big fish in the sea directly with arrows?"

"Yes, of course, in addition to having good eyesight, I also need to have good shooting skills. Moreover, I have eaten the flesh of sea beasts all year round and have become extremely close to the sea.

Ordinary people can dive underwater for up to half an hour, and I can dive for more than an hour. I have never calculated the limit.

At most, ordinary people dive into the sea water more than ten feet deep, and I can dive into the sea water about thirty feet deep, or even deeper.

The squeezing force that I felt at first became lighter as I ate more sea beasts.”

"You are no longer human, you are almost the same as a human-shaped sea beast!" Huo Hai complained in his heart.

Thirty feet, not one hundred meters, but seventy or eighty meters. At such a deep sea water, normal people have already been forced to death and cannot die anymore. You can still dive down.

Of course, his explanation had other benefits. At least, all the navy soldiers in the cabin showed a look of fanaticism on their faces, because they also wanted to become as strong as Taishi Ci.

Seeing that the fire had arrived, Huo Hai spoke, "I have always been interested in expanding the naval army, but I have suffered from no one to command, which has caused the naval army construction to stagnate. Now, the Taishi came from heaven to me, and it is the day when my Anbei Navy's Navy grows.

I announce that Taishi Ci will be appointed as the commander of the Anbei Navy Navy and will be fully responsible for the construction of the navy. Before the end of the year, I will see that the navy is over 10,000. Within two years, I will allocate you more than one hundred warships of ten thousand stones for you to drive.”

"The chief general of the over 10,000 naval army? General Huo took this seriously." Taishi Ci looked at Huo Haidao in a daze.

Huo Hai nodded and said, "Of course, but whether there are more than 10,000 people depends on your recruitment ability.

After all, there are few people in the north of me who are good at water. There are many people in the coastal areas of Qingzhou and Xuzhou. You need Ziyi to recruit later. Our Anbei Army has a very generous treatment. You can ask Liu Xun and Huang Shao what the specific situation is."

Taishi Ci felt that he was suddenly hit by some pie, and was a little dizzy. Seeing Liu Xun, Huang Shao and others holding their fists to congratulate him, he woke up instead and said seriously, "If the chief general of the navy army suddenly accepts it, I am afraid that the generals in the army will not accept it. Why not, when I hunt the thousand-year-old tiger shark tomorrow, I will ask everyone to see my Taishi Ci's ability, and it will not be too late to take office again."

"Hahaha, okay, I just like Ziyi's straightforwardness. So, I'll take a good look at Ziyi's skills tomorrow." Huo Hai laughed.

With Taishici's joining, even if his trip to the Bohai Sea was complete, in the future, under the leadership of Taishici, the navy will not only be self-sufficient, but also provide the army with a lot of high-end tonics and ingredients. In the next step, it is no problem to use waterways to trade on a larger scale to the north.

Early the next morning, Huo Hai came to the deck for morning exercises, and Taishi Ci led everyone to prepare early.

Sea beasts are territorially conscious, and dozens of fishing boats break into their territory, and they will soon know.

However, sea beasts are not very interested in things other than food and are likely to not attack human ships.

Therefore, in this era, there is actually a sea trade. Moreover, in addition to the fleet under Huo Hai who belongs to a professional navy, there is another maritime army in the Bohai region, which is under the Gongsun family in Liaodong.

According to information obtained by Liu Xun and others earlier, there are at least ten large sea ships under the Gongsun family with a length of nearly 30 zhang and a width of nearly 5 zhang. As for the ten thousand stone ships with a length of more than ten zhang, there are at least nearly 100, because the total number of naval troops in each of the Gongsun family's rooms exceeded 30,000.

Of course, in addition to this, they also had 30,000 cavalry and infantry each, which was not an exaggeration to say that they were armed with 100,000 armor.

However, they are currently scattered and obeyed the various houses of the Gongsun family, and have not been led by Gongsun Du alone.

Their targets for maritime trade were Goguryeo, Wuhuan, Sanhan, and even Japanese.

Huo Hai knew even less about these backward ethnic minority regimes. After all, it took only one or two years for him to become the Lord of Montenegro. Even the Central Plains states had not yet been fully deployed, let alone these edge areas.

However, the more the edges and corners the area, the more it is to be done and business is easy. This is the experience passed down by Huo Hai's later generations.

It is precisely because of this that the huge Gongsun family in Liaodong was founded.

"Notify all ships to drive towards Liaodong after hunting tiger sharks." After a simple breakfast, Huo Hai ordered to his personal guards.

"Does the young master want to contact the Gongsun clan in Liaodong?" Du Ji, who was with the boat, answered.

Tian Feng stayed in Bingzhou to take charge of military affairs, Liang Xi was in charge of government affairs, and Guo Tu couldn't come back in Luoyang for the time being. Huo Hai planned to let him go to Heishanzhai to serve as the chief internal affairs manager, so he let him accompany him to learn more about the situation.

"The Gongsun family will definitely rise in the Northeast in the future. They will contact them early and make plans for the future." Huo Hai nodded.

"The Gongsun family is a large clan of two thousand stones for generations, with branches all over Youzhou counties, including Gongsunyu and Su Hou Gongsun Zan in Liaodong. However, these two people are not the same. Gongsun Zan has always had military strategies, but he is a martial artist after all, and he is a man of no one. This Gongsun Earth mobilized his clan members to establish water power early. He was afraid that his ambition was quite large. Once the Central Plains changed, he would definitely rule Liaodong."

Huo Hai remembered that it was Gongsun Du who ruled Liaodong. Needless to say, Gongsun Du was either Gongsun Yu's son or his nephew. He was just young now and there was no time.

"Indeed, but now we are all officials of the court. He should not refuse to join forces to do business and make profits." Huo Hai said with a smile.

"The general thought, what should I do in this business?" Du Ji asked.

"You arrange people to find out that Gongsun's family and those foreigners are engaged in trade. Even if you give in, you must join the line with these people."

Upon hearing this, Du Ji narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, and finally nodded with a sudden realization.

It turns out that conquering a place does not necessarily require a real war with him, especially in a bitter and cold place like Liaodong. He only needs to cut off his foreign trade and turn it into a stagnant pool. He will soon be unable to raise troops. As a result, either internal collapse or war is started.

In other words, as long as you arrange someone to find out the trading target of Gongsun’s family, Heishan can use the quality and price advantages in goods to cut off Gongsun’s foreign trade at any time.

Don’t underestimate this kind of proactive advantage. It can not only be used to limit the development of the Gongsun clan, but also allow Huo Hai to maintain his strategic advantage over the Gongsun clan. Whenever Huo Hai has time to hit him and whenever he has the strength to hit him, he will hit him.

Huo Hai doesn't hit him, he wants to hit Huo Hai. No, I will cut off the trade first, causing internal trouble.

No matter how big your Gongsun clan is, can you cut off the ocean?

When the two were discussing what aspects could be used to enter Liaodong's foreign trade faster and better, the whistle of sentries came from the decks of each ship. Judging from the flag slogans, there should be an unknown fleet in the distance.

Huo Hai looked around and saw a vast ship at the sea and sky line, while Taishi Ci had already arrived in front of him.

"It's a Japanese."

"Do you know them? What size and strength?" Huo Hai asked Taishi Ci, who said that he had the identity of the person.

"The first Japanese forces to organize troops to hunt sea beasts came from the Kingdom of Yematai. Their king was a woman named Himehu, who was very strong." Taishici replied.

"I am very strong. Is she a peak internal strength warrior?" Huo Hai said a little surprised.

It is no joke that Taishi Ci calls him very strong. After all, his comprehensive strength can also rank in the top ten throughout the Three Kingdoms period.

"No, he is a monk, and he is a monk from various schools of the Central Plains, and he is practicing the ghost path."

"Ghost path?"

"Using the words of the master, she practiced the method of using demons to confuse the public, which is very similar to the witchcraft in southern Xinjiang, but is also different."

"How can you use demons to deceive the public?"

"Well, for example, he can drive beasts, or let the sea beasts in this sea fight for them."
